The Freeattle myth is of course bullshit. Still and all, the media should maybe stop going out of their way to perpetuate it. It’s ridiculous that people would come in mass numbers to sleep outside in our cold wet winters. Seattle is one of the most expensive cities in the world, and the fact that we have the homeless problem we do is a disgrace.

It has become difficult to say who is the most unhinged these days, Trump, the loon, or Doctor Dumbfuck. But as the loon hasn’t posted much recently, I’m going to have to go with Doctor Dumbfuck. My guess is that all those thousands of hashtags have fucked his head up something bad. It’s like HA has two batshit crazy loons now.

“Former Stockton Mayor Anthony Silva was arrested Sunday at San Francisco International Airport … as he returned from Colombia … on charges of misappropriation of public funds, embezzlement, grand theft, and money laundering …. [This] arrest is not related to the charges he faced … last year for … for secretly recording portions of a teen counselor strip poker game and providing alcohol to minors.”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: If some guy with a beard in a robe showed up, turned stones into bread, and gave the loaves to homeless people, he’d be sitting in the clink right along with the rest of those librul do-gooders. The people who pass these laws couldn’t spot a messiah even if he hit them over the head with a cross.

Trump is a coward. He drops his accusatory tweets and hides. His press secretary states they will not comment on those tweets and holds his next press briefing off camera. He signs his travel ban in hiding, after making a public spectacle of the first, and his cabinet secretaries announce it and run off stage without taking questions.

14, these tactics will not help his declining support among increasingly disappointed hillbillies. It’s really no fun beating up on towel heads, hadjis, wets and beaners if you aren’t allowed to run a naked, fist pumping victory lap waving your Gadsden flag.

(((Goldy)))‏ @GoldyHA (((Goldy))) Retweeted Rosa Hwang If true, this should be a stunningly offensive affront to all Americans. US citizens don’t have travel “privileges.” We have travel RIGHTS.(((Goldy))) added, Rosa Hwang @journorosa JUST IN: Gold Star father Khizr Khan cancels scheduled speech in Toronto after being told his “travel privileges are being reviewed.” 10:54 AM – 6 Mar 2017

And if not true?

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection official, citing privacy issues, declined to discuss Khan specifically but appeared to dispute the report, telling POLITICO that CBP doesn’t contact travelers in advance of their travel abroad.

@4 They do these things so they improve on the image of Seattle to people they are going to suggest should catch next bus out of town to Seattle. Of course if you are in Napa, Idaho; Fishtrap, Idaho; Spokane, WA then pointing out the comparable warm (slight moist as the city is in a rain shadow) streets of Seattle is a plus.

@13 One never knows the beautiful San Juan Islands could be the future home of Chelsea. Is Chelsea a corporatist Democrat that seems to fit in well with the Democrats current leadership. Is Chelsea enough of a corporatist to be given the chance to run, or is it the Clinton brand that could get her into the US house or senate with no need to maybe put some time in on a local school board, county board, or state government. Chelsea could use the seasoning of such positions, and it’s shocking that people who may support or not support the Clinton brand thinks she could just put her name down and win, but they could be right, and I guess we the American public could be harmed.

@2. … they just might go away. Or hopefully starve to death, because some might just get desperate enough to start robbing banks an citizens. And then ultimately costing the taxpayers money, probably more. To apprehend and jail them. At which point they get free meals and tv and healthcare and lawyers, etc., etc., etc.

@15 Definitely true for those held by members of the Five Civilized Tribes. Then they got to be treated as true Americans.

The doctor could be referring to a shit load of indentured servants. Slaves for a term in the colony to pay their debts back in merry old England. A lot became pretty successful upon completion of their contract or Jubilee.

@18 It is rather odd that Mr. Kahn knows anything about him being banned unless it’s the Canadian government that has banned him. Entirely possible, and he can show his pocket constitution to any of their fine people at the border, and they are under orders not to burst out laughing, or offer him a beer with a mouse in it. Goldy knows from experience that you don’t find out you might be on a list until you get to the airport to catch your flight. And if Mr. Kahn was driving most likely he would have gone to Canada gotten in, did his speech, and not known there was a problem until rolling up the US border. Eventually he would get in as long as he has his passport. So this whole story looks like total bunk unless the nice Canadians have asked the man not to come and visit or do a speech.

Folks bums since before the great Depression have had a network. Seattle has always been considered a relatively benign destination. The weather sucks in the winter, but nice in the summer. Bums would go south in the winter and then back up to the northwest in the summer and maybe pick up a little work in the orchards. There is still graffiti left from the Hoovervilles,, train yards, and paths showing Seattle as a desirable destination. And Portland has always tried to get bums out as soon as possible. Driving them to the city limits or buying them bus tickets to Seattle. Though Seattle has changed and there are few fleabag motels left or tenements since Seattle got gentrified. Maybe Seattle needs to rebuild a skidway.

Yeah, how many of them got started on that path to abusing hard drugs by using and abusing gateway drugs such as Vicodin and Oxycodone by over-prescribing doctors? For a group of people that take an oath to “do no harm”, there seems to be a lot that do just that.

@18 Hey Boob, don’t you think maybe the current administration has given people with names like “Khan” reasons to feel a little paranoid about things like traveling out of the country? As in, might not be able to get back in?

“If Dems know what’s good for them, Chelsea should never, ever be permitted to join Congress.”

“In a couple of days we’ll find out he received a higher honorarium for a speech given closer to home.”

It’s looking more and more like acute narcissism and overindulgence in Clinton and Obama hate has fried both Trump and Doctor Dumbfuck’s minds, which is to say that Doctor Dumbfuck has supplanted the loon as this blog’s most batshit fucking insane troll.

So now we see Snopes.com lied and created FAKE NEWS about Debbie Wasserman Schultze and Keith Ellison standing for the second applause round. Butt, they DID not stand for the second applause for the widow of the navy seal! http://twitchy.com/samj-3930/2.....e-ovation/

Puddles, puddles, puddles, Trump did not say data from his aides was collected. He said “that Obama had my “wires tapped”. Then he ran and hid. If he has evidence, he can provide it. If in fact a FISA order was issued for his aids, reasonable basis had to be shown to the judge. He is the President, God help us, and he can order the release of any evidence to substantiate his claims. Instead he ducks and hides and his Cabinet Secretaries discuss his orders and run and hide from questions. He is a coward and a fool, and you are a fool for defending him.

Hey Carl Ballard….how many hundreds of millions you wanna spend on street zombies? cause, you know, the city has spent $500 million in the last 10 years, with WORSE results! liberals…keep spending till other peoples money runs out..then spend more.

funny how a “survey” by homeless for the homeless comes out at exactly the same time as Mayor Beady-Eyes wants to up spending on the “homeless” problem.

coincidence? nah!

and if you believe the survey results, I have some awesome ocean front property in New Mexico to sell ya! cheap!

The insane klown preznit made the decision over dinner and drinks with its shoot from the hip SecDef (yeah some cool head that one) instead of running the operation plan through more thorough review like its predecessor would have done.

And idiot trolls whine about Dems not wanting to exploit the dead Seal’s grieving widow by dancing to the insane klown preznit’s tune.

Steve – been gone for a few days….didnt see your post. Thanks for the kind words….did you happen to print them out on a plotter? :P

Also – it looks like the Rabbit went in for some sort of procedure. As much as I dont see eye to eye with him, I sincerely hope for the best outcome. prayers. get well soon rabbit, from one bombastic asshole to another.

And k2 you snowflake, Trump campaign people manafort, cohen, lewandowski and others worked out of Trump tower for his campaign. They were dead wrong about Cohen! So how did the NY Slimes get their information for the article?

Puddles, I look forward to a full investigation covering the Trump campaign links to Russia and whatever else they want to throw in. Why did so many of his people meet with Russians and “forget” to disclose it? Why has Trump lied about his ties to Russia- not spoken to them in 10 years, but he brought his beauty pageant there in 2013. How he was able to sell a property he bought in Florida for $40 million to a Russian oligarch for $100M, and the Russian never set foot in it. And that pipeline. All pipelines will be built with American steel, except for the Keystone pipeline which will use Russian steel.

By all means let’s investigate both sides- How about an independent prosecutor?

Response from Cupertino Electric, one the best ECs in the nation, on the subject of hard-copy prints.

Me, “Do you guys still use hard-copy prints out in the field or does everybody use tablets, phones or whatever?”

Cupertino, “We, including myself, use prints.”

You’re a scheduler. I can respect that. But you should quit pretending that you have a fucking clue what Max and I do for a living and how best we should do it.

“Do you always blow snots out at change? Are you the progressive, I think you said you are?”

Three things to say about that. One, I’ve got a decade of comments in these threads that attest to my political views. Two, our work has nothing the fuck to do with politics. Three, the worst fucking GC I’ve ever worked with was Morse-Diesel out of NYC.

You mis-characterize what I wrote about the use of tablets in the field versus plans. But that’s ok Steve – yes ,you are far superior. And no I don’t know what you and Maxi Pad do for a living, you never shared, but I believe you, you and he are far superior. You deserve a medal, if you already don’t have 10’s of them lying around the office.

As far as your work not having anything to do with politics, ok, that’s nice, but not sure what that means. And I don’t know what your decades of comments here have anything to do with this conversation, other than you are far superior.

And I don’t work for Morse-Diesel NYC – I believe they are more infrastructure and civil. I have a civil background but I work mostly in low life Building side of construction. And no I didn’t come up the low level rank that I am from the trades as the far Superior Maxi Pad spewed. For a far superior being, Maxi Pad has not ever gotten one thing right about me. That’s some good company you pal around with. You guys can share that conversation for the golf course, as you two superior beings enjoy the fresh air.

For Max….I worked with them on Stanford hospital, of all places. I remember when they first showed us their triple critical path schedule. We all laughed our asses off at them. “WTF is this??” A two year project lasted five. It turned out they couldn’t schedule fucking lunch. Must be a NYC thing.

Two separate sources with links to the counter-intelligence community have confirmed to Heat Street that the FBI sought, and was granted, a FISA court warrant in October, giving counter-intelligence permission to examine the activities of ‘U.S. persons’ in Donald Trump’s campaign with ties to Russia.

Imagine that! Back in October. And where was that server located HA DUMMOCRETIN FOOLS? “Contrary to earlier reporting in the New York Times, which cited FBI sources as saying that the agency did not believe that the private server in Donald Trump’s Trump Tower which was connected to a Russian bank had any nefarious purpose, the FBI’s counter-intelligence arm, sources say, re-drew an earlier FISA court request around possible financial and banking offenses related to the server. The first request, which, sources say, named Trump, was denied back in June, but the second was drawn more narrowly and was granted in October after evidence was presented of a server, possibly related to the Trump campaign, and its alleged links to two banks; SVB Bank and Russia’s Alfa Bank. While the Times story speaks of metadata, sources suggest that a FISA warrant was granted to look at the full content of emails and other related documents that may concern US persons.” Of course in Trump tower! The Obummer sadministration nefarious activities are coming to light!

Of course the shitpacker reading raw story missed this too last year! Soooooooooooooooo Puddy drops another weapon of mass instruction on the FOOLS!

“It’s a horrible law, and it should be changed, you’ll do business nowhere. There is one answer—go to your room, close the door, go to sleep, and don’t do any deals, because that’s the only way. The only way you’re going to do it is the other way.”

The FCPA was put in place for a reason. That is, Americans working on the behalf of terrorists and international criminals to protect their criminal enterprises or to launder funds from criminal activities should be held accountable to the Law.

I suppose there are people who argue that the Law shouldn’t be applied to people who make lots of money. It doesn’t matter where the money comes from, it doesn’t matter how the money was acquired or who got hurt in the process. The money is all that is important, and nobody has the right to restrict how people can make money. Smuggling, murder, kidnapping, selling weapons to terrorists or helping them hide the money they made, all is fair.

I guess Al Capone should never have been prosecuted. Nor Spiro Agnew, nor Pablo Escobar or Frank Lucas. Criminals are just Capitalists after all. Capitalists are a protected species and shouldn’t be harassed by little things like the Law.

This is what Mitt Romney and Donald Trumppp and much of the GOP is all about anymore. They know that as long as they can maintain an illusion of respectability through religion and/or political conservatism, they can convince people of pretty much anything under the sun and make all the money they want.

Real progress is made when we see the idiot hillbillies cheering for investigations. It must be pointed out that the only ideology left among the beer drunk, sister fucking, intellectually backward Trailer Trump Americans is their enduring hatred for educated, affluent, healthy and prosperous Coastal Elites. This can be turned against them very easily. More investigative sunlight, subpoenas, sworn testimony, and declassification is not good for them and their corrupt and perverted Comrade-Pissident Putin-Puppet. Keep up the good work hillbillies! Oh, and BTW, two term African American President Barack Hussein Obama is still 96% running your show!

70, why not investigate that too? More investigations by more agencies into more public officials more of the time!

I’m sure it won’t trouble any of the perverted, aggrieved, racist, economically troubled, sister-fucking Trailer Trump voters that Teh Hillbilly Jesus is in business with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Why should it? They’d gladly hand over their daughters and wives to the PUSSY GRABBER IN CHIEF in exchange for a few moments of feeling triumphant again. What’s their patriotism or national security worth?

Thanks for asking. They took her off the ventilator because her frontal lobes were dead. She would open her eyes, look at you when you called her name but she had no motor control or speech. She died 48 hours after they took her off life support. They creamated her 18 days ago. I’ll let the father know you asked about her. Yes, Really will!

Peace be unto you Steve. You are a good man even though your politics really are whack!

God be with you! Stay off raw story. There isn’t anything redeeming about their reportage!

75, Who’s still in charge? That’s right. These guys are! Maybe that’s why Teh Hillbilly Jesus has to hide out in Florida so much. The hillbillies never did beat them, did they? Tried with everything they had. But the Obamas won. And they are still winning, even now.

I’m deeply saddened to hear the family’s loss, Puddy, as well as your own, as I know you love this family. It truly is heartbreaking. I know I don’t have adequate words, but I can at least take a pause in the usual battles between us for a few days out of respect.
